Brazilian Beans and Rice with Sausage

This Brazilian Beans and Rice dish could not be easier or more delicious. It it only takes a few simple ingredients and less than 30 minutes!

I was inspired to make this dish a couple weeks ago when I wanted to make something fun for the World Cup. My husband visited Brazil several years ago and mentioned that he loved the sausage there, as well as the beans and rice… so I ran with that suggestion. I wanted to make it as easy as possible and so I came up with this recipe.
